     I just watched a real epic 2010 movie called ,

     THE ROAD

    This really opened my mind up ,
    to how much we take our life's for granted .

    As human beings and top off the food chain ,
    i feel it brings home our animal like instincts for survival .

    BEWARNED : THIS MOVIE IS  DISTURBINGLY  HONEST AT TIMES .

    Seen Oldboy a few times, I honestly think that has the best fight scene in all of cinema, where he's fighting everyone on the landing - great story too.

    Anyone suggest any other Oriental films thats pretty new? In the mood of a good film but completely disallusioned with Hollywood now - almost everything coming out of there in the last few years has been CGI-laden drivel and I can't stand it!! (Though, in fairness I do want to see The Road lol!)

    /rant off

    If anyone is interested Pink Flamingoes imo is a MUST WATCH classic to any would-be film connoisseur.
    It has a fantastic last scene that will possibly make you sick tho. Unless you don't mind the spectacle of Divine catching, then eating, dog ( nasty poodle ) ploopy. It is REAL DOG PLOOP BTW, I kid you not !
    V funny film. I wonder what Hartigan made of it ?   :)

    "Drunken Master" 

    An undisciplined young man is sent to live with his uncle, but ends up falling foul of a kung fu master and his pupils. Badly beaten, he receives training from his uncle in a powerful martial art - but to fight using this method, he has to be hopelessly drunk. Martial arts comedy adventure, starring Jackie Chan and Siu Tien Yuen


    This sounds alot like me when I play poker, all joking aside.....I cannot play sober.

    Has anyone seen this???? - It's on xmas night just before the cricket starts.

    Posted by ACESOVER8s
    Well, kind of...

    The film's original title is 'Leon'.  It was released in cinemas under this simple, one-word title in most territories, including the UK.

    However, in the North American market, it was re-titled 'The Professional'.

    Luc Besson's preferred, longer cut of the movie was only released theatrically in a few European countries, including France.  When this "extended director's version" was finally issued on DVD and Blu-ray it was released under the title 'Leon: The Professional'.

    In either version, it's an amazing film - one of the best of the 1990s.  For the record, I prefer Besson's "extended" cut.

    Can't let Jean Reno films be brought up without mentioning 'Ronin'.

    I remember seeing it in the cinema when I had just stared going to 15+ movies and thinking wow. I had no idea that 15+ was the point at which films actually started telling clever and complex stories not just showing sex and violence. Started a love affair with thrillers.

    Never did find out what was in that damn case.

    + 1 Red !!

    Tonight [weds 5th jan], sky movies indie !

    'City of God' must be seen!

    I was in rio for 10 days, bout 18 years ago, played foottie tourney, [lost 9-1, lol,  to Universal, 2nd tier pro team's acadamy] met few local 'characters', away from beach front & luxury hotels very scary place, lol !

     There was a lil' club called 'HELP' on front, very interesting! We we warned not to go there, but ended up there every nite at some point lol !

    Only bout half our group got mugged at knife point , [no-one hurt], & we never saw any guns apparently we were lucky!

    Picked up the 'rio derby' Flamengo v vasco de Gama, while i was there, most concerned have ever been at a footie match, before & after!!

    Any way this film captures Backstreet rio !! pretty clear different world away from the Copacabana beach front & after nightfall !! really just like Sheperds Bush but the weather & girls[hopefully lol] were hotter !

    Yesterday was a 5 film day (I blame the hangover):

    1.  Frost/Nixon (very good)
    2.  Lions for Lambs (ditto)
    3.  I Love you Man (funny)
    4.  Inglourious Basterds (superb)
    5.  (new) Sherlock Holmes (dunno as the DVD cocked up about 45 mins into it)

    Gotta love Sundays!
